MediaTek acquires Intel’s Enpirion power solutions business for $85mn

MediaTek, a Taiwan-based global fabless semiconductor company, has acquired Intel Enpirion power management chip product line-related assets, via its subsidiary Richtek, for about $85 million, as per media reports.

Post acquisition, MediaTek aims to expand its product line to offer integrated power solutions used in FPGA, SoC, CPU, and ASIC for the enterprise-level system applications.

Intel Enpirion power System-on-Chip (PowerSoC) modules integrate nearly all the components needed to build a power supply without sacrificing performance or efficiency.

Intel Enpirion Power Solutions are high frequency, high efficiency power management devices for FPGAs, SoCs, CPUs, ASICs, and other semiconductor devices.   

MediaTek has recently unveiled its new Dimensity 700 5G smartphone chipset, a 7nm SoC designed to bring advanced 5G capabilities and experiences to the mass market. 

Today, Intel announced a new customizable solution to help accelerate application performance across 5G, artificial intelligence, cloud and edge workloads. The new Intel eASIC N5X is the first structured eASIC family with an Intel FPGA compatible hard processor system. 

The Intel eASIC N5X helps customers migrate both their custom logic and designs — using the embedded hard processor in the FPGA — to structured ASICs, bringing benefits like lower unit cost, faster performance and reduced power consumption, the company said.
